Okay. I spent most of the day looking up all kinds of things with regards to this.

Here’s the short version. There are ways to sell musical covers, but being that I’m in Equestria, it’s complicated. I’d have to send a letter cross dimension and wait 30 days before selling, play royalties, and I still wouldn’t be able to use Bandcamp. So this is what I’ve come up with.

There’s a donate button on my page now. The more money I get, the more running this page becomes a sustainable entity, the more I update the page with things like music and drawings. That is to say, at a greater frequency than I do now. I’m not going to just stop if I don’t get anything.

I’ve updated the music page. You can now find a second download link that will have the second half of the songs not found on the first link. That will include Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.

My financial situation is far from stable, but I’m not asking for money. As a household, Bon-Bon and I aren’t desperate. If we ever become desperate, I’ll be sure to beg on my knees.

I’d probably pay a bit to get some of it. Optionally, toss it on bandcamp with no minimum price. People who want to pay do, others don’t.

Again, I can’t. What I do aren’t original compositions, they aren’t even remixes. They’re all just covers. Bandcamp’s terms of use disallows the selling of covers without permission from the source.

(([redacted] YES. :D Well, if i had any money. :c ))

I appreciate the sentiment, and I don’t mean to be impolite, but if if’s and but’s were candy and nuts we’d all have a Happy Hearth’s Warming.

This isn’t hypothetical, this is real. If I can actually make money from this, I will devote more than a significant amount of my time to producing music to sell.

M-money…? Like, actual money?

I-I…

Like how much money? One USD? A quarter of a USD?

I mean, I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m not exactly in the best financial situation right now. Either way it’s just a cover and Bandcamp prohibits selling covers unless I have permission. I would have to find another way.

You ponies wouldn’t really pay for any of this stuff, would you?

1) Salut, Carrot Top! Since this is the order I see the questions in, in a way, you did say hello first!

2) Well, I realized that by answering every question separately, I was effectively spamming pony’s dashboards. I’d notice that I’d lose followers after posting a bunch, and just put two and two together.

Doing it this way the posts take up minimal space and if somepony that follows me isn’t interested, they can just skip over them with minimal effort! Just trying to be considerate to the ponies that follow me!

3) Okay.

I really like this episode.

Nope, I certainly am not. …Another would just completely devastate that field of delight we enjoy by ourselves. I want to experience the journey of love with you, and you alone. …But besides all that, there’s also the fact that what that anon was suggesting is very…

You’re killin’ me, Smalls.

Hee hee hee!

Not to mention, you belong with me, and I belong with you. There’s certainly room for friends and family at parts, but during those moments where it’s just the two of us, where we’re basked in that certain peace… Another would just completely devastate that field of…

Field of…? You aren’t just going to leave me hangin’ are you?

I’d like to take this moment to think the 750+ followers I presently have. I’ve sort-of been expecting it to drop by a bunch at some point and go back under 750. Probably under 700. But it just seems to be slowly going up.

It’s… sort of unreal. Do you pon- people actually read what I’m saying or are you just being nice?

Anyway, I’m not just going to sit here and take this for granted. I have a music piece I’ll be uploading here shortly.

Thanks for showing some interest in… I guess my life? I-I’ll try to remain worth following, if I even am to begin with.

And here’s a question mark so you can say stuff to me if you want.

A steady job is pretty much the sum of my desires, too. Hmmm so it’s as soon as I thought it was. Thank you for tracking the post down!

Did you ever think that maybe Krastos (and all bears) might indeed have cutie marks, it’s just underneath their dark fur so nopony can see?
